Requirements

  • A table or visualization.

You will also see a warning in the Rules section of Properties 26UI_ObjectInspector.png if you have applied a rule directly to a non-compatible visualization, and you will need to apply it to the input table instead. For example:

  2. Go to Data > Rules in the object inspector 26UI_ObjectInspector.png.
  3. Select '+' > Cell Content > Hide Decimals without Rounding.
  4. Enter the number of Decimals places to round.
  5. OPTIONAL: Tick Apply to all statistics.
  6. If you wish to apply to specific statistics only, leave Apply to marginal statistics ticked and enter the relevant statistics under Apply only to.
  7. Press OK.
